I have a very large spreadsheet in Excel that I want to
Link to Access. Various columns have numbers, some have
text & numbers. PROBLEM: Some of the cells' contents
show up in Access as: #Num! I can't find any any logic
as to which cells it does this to. All are numbers
except for a few in the 1st row (in Excel)that are
words. I have come to the conclusion thru much searching
on the HELP screens that the problem is with Excel & how
the cells are formatted. I have tried everything I can
think of to correct this problem & nothing works on all
of the problem cells. I have tried a variety of
things...reformatting cells, copying & pasting the cells
to a new spreadsheet, etc. I even got so desperate I
tried working on individual cells, such as:
Reformatting the cells to TEXT & retyping the numbers.
Reformatting the cells to TEXT & editing the cells to
put an apostrophe in front of the number.
Any solutions out there? Keep in mind I have thousands
of cells to correct.
